When seeing the sums that float around at auction, it can feel daunting to enter the world of art collecting. Especially considering blue chip lots and works from rising stars in the making. French artist Claire Tabouret is certainly in the latter camp and has been one to watch over the past decade as one of the premier figurative painters in the world. While her intimate portraiture and abstract landscapes fetch anywhere from $100,000 to over $800,000 USD, there’s still ways to own unique works from the Los Angeles-based artist, including a new ceramic plate by Galerie Perrotin.
Portrait with Curls and Portrait with Stripes feature two expressive depictions of young girls — a prominent theme that the artist extrapolates within her practice. Whether shown singular or in a group, Tabouret’s adolescent subjects are calm, yet defiant, alert but simultaneously distant — a partial reflection of her own childhood experiences.
Produced in her native France, each of the two plates is limited to an edition of 75 (plus 5AP, 5SP and 1PP) and is available to purchase at Perrotin’s Store in Paris and online for €360 EUR / $397 USD. Each edition comes signed and numbered by the artist on the back.
